I got SUNBURNED yesterday! YEA!

We went to the beach yesterday (Sunday) to see the vendors all along the road. Found some really fun stuff including a cool hat. She didn't have the color I wanted so have to go back next Sunday to get the right one.
We walked in the sand and in the COLD water as well as up in the park area.
There were pony rides for the little ones and lots of other entertainment.
From where we started along the beach to where we turned back inland was about 2 miles.
Once we turned inland we found a nice little bakery/restaurant where we had a coffee and something for lunch. Sat there for awhile just vegging and people watching. As we walked some more we found people lawn bowling. Get a load of the costumes!

We then caught a tram that took us out past the University to the general Cemetery. By the time we got to the cemetery it was too late to really wander around as we were warned that they would lock us in. This was one of the most crowded "people gardens" I have ever seen. We'll go back as there seem to be some pretty interesting things to see.
Today we went out to Geelong (about 50 miles). We left the house well prepared with print outs from google maps and step by step directions. WELLLLLLLL google maps said to take the Princes highway off of the Princes Freeway. Ain't no such exit! We managed to get rather lost. Good thing we are both pretty good at reading maps and using our GPS. In addition Trox has a rather good feel for which is the "right" way (not ME!). Once in Geelong we found the place we were looking for - an RV dealership who has used motorhomes. Found one we liked but now we have to decide if the price is right and do we REALLY want to do this? Made it home with no problems.

Tomorrow we may look at some more but first we HAVE to go to the coffee shop and get Trox some coffee!
